A Little Tariff Talk.

Gov. Hill, of New York, made a ringing
speech in Brooklyn on last Tuesday night.
The points he made were strong ones and
he supported them with arguments which
were convincing.
He called attention to that clause in the
last national Republican platform in which
the Republican party pledges itself to cor
rect the inequalities of the tariff. He
wanted to know what the Republican party
had done toward keeping that pledge.
The truth is that it not only has done moth
ing but it has INSTRUCTED every attempt of
the Democratic party to correct the me
qualities of the tariff. Whenever the
Democratic party has proposed a tariff
measure, looking to the correction of
these inequalities, it has been met
by the Republican cry that
any interference with the tariff would dis
turb the great business interests of the
country, and would be followed by financial
disaster and industrial ruin. The Republi-
can party also persistently asserts that the
Democratic party aims TO reduce the labor
OF this country to the condition or the
pauper labor of Europe.
The fact that the Republican party pledges
itself to correct inequalities in the tariff is
an admission that such inequalities exist.
Is not that party then dishonest! 1t not
only refuses to do what it has pledged itself
to do, but also binders the Democratic party
from doing it.
As for the Democratic party wanting to
reduce the labor of this country TO less
desirable condition than it now occupies,
that is all nonsense. The Democratic party
is the party of the laboring man. Its ranks
are filed with those who earn their bread
by manual labor. Its aim is to improve the
condition of workingmen, and promote
their welfare in every possible way.
In speech lately delivered i'll New York,
Senator Hiscock said that the Republican
party was the real anti-poverty society. In
one respect it is. 1t is filed with rich men
men who have accumulated millions from
manufacturing industries which are pro-
tected by the tariff But the workingmen
of these millionaire manufacturers, are they
rich! Do they share in the profits which
the protective tariff makes possible? As a
matter of fact as the years go by they see
themselves growing poorer, and the number
of comforts of life which they enjoy de
creasing The Republican party is the friend
of workingmen only so far as it can use
them, and no further. That this is true
must be apparent to every workingman who
gives the history of the Republican party
careful study.

Andrew Johnson's Fondness for

From the Washinqton Critic.

If Dickens fat boy had been colored he would
have looked very much like Col. Lamont's door
keeper, Arthur, who has been in the White
House for a quarter of a Century, Arthur was
he White House butler when johnson was
President and he says: HE (the p esdent)
liked good liquors, but he did not drink too
much, and he was especially fond of sherry. |

From the Chicago HlterOcedn
Bind up a wreath and give it me
Before this duh day closes,
And in the garland let there be
The thorns as well as roses:
Weave voletS in and greeneSt bays
Weave willow for my sorrow,
Sad flowers for the yesterday,
White lilies for tomorrow.
White lilies for they tell of peace
Beyond the gates of even
Where whispers of the souls release
Seem mystic hints Of heaven,
And yesterday-but that has gore,
And so | needs must borrow
A hope of that swift coming dawn,
The promise of tomorrow.
Forever more tomorrow lends
Bright visions of completeness;
Tru" lovers. and he steadfast friends
With faces full of sweetness;
But backward all seems dim and gray,
And vaguely touched with sorrow;
/ care not for your yesterday
If may have tomorrow.
The past is past-ah, dead indeed,
weep not for its going.
Its phantoms weird no more heed
Than west winds wildly blowing;
Press onward, aye. and upward, heart,
While my gladness borrow,
For hope and shall never part
While | can have tomorrow

The MORNING NEWS has received from
the publishers. Messrs. Mcintosh g. Davis,
of the Albany Nelos and Adrertiser, n
neatly printed pamphlet, entitled "a Hand
Book of Albany and Dougherty County
Georgia" An edition of 900 copies of this
book has been printed, for free distribution,
and paid for by the city of Albany and the
county of Dougherty. What is strange n
such pamphlet is that it is not an adver-
Using scheme, gotten up in the interest Of
some private Spectator, but a well
written book, giving an account of
the advantages and inducements offered
by Albany and the county in which it is To-
Gated to those seeking homes or investments
a the South. Such book, widely distrib-
uted, cannot fail to be of great benefit to
the enterprising people who got it up, and
they will find that the $1,000 invested in
printers ink will bring them good returns.

Increasing Rainfall.

1t iSva theory with some Western people
that the annual rainfall on the dry plains
of that region is increasing as the railroads
multiply. Evidence is strong that the rain
fall is increasing, but the railroads arc re-
sponsble for it only in the sense that they
open the lands to settlement. If it is true
that there has been a steady increase the
most reasonable explanation of it is. per-
hapS, to be found in the increase of the num-
Der of trees which has followed the settle
ment of the plains, the upturning of the
soil by the farmers plow, and the growing
of green crops. These things are thought
not only to have tendency TO store moist
ure in the soil, but to attract it.
Gen. Morrow, of the United States
army, has had long experience
on the Western plains, so that
his testimony is peculiarly valuable
In recent address at an agricultural fair
in Cheyenne county, on the extreme west
ern border of Nebraska, he stated that more
than twenty wears ago he led soldiers
through that region. when there was no set
Element for 500 miles east He then OBJ
served tn at the men could sleep in the open
air from May to November, and their BLAIR
kets were not dampened by dews. Thi,
year he saw dews in August as heavy as il
States east of the Mississippi. At Camp
Douglass the rainfall in 1861 was only eleven
inches, while for nine months of the
present year it was fourteen inches
and it may be safely stated to have doubled
since the year first name6. The effect was
seen in the exhibitions at the fair of farm
products of every variety suited to the lati-
tude. The country is rapidly filling up with
homestead settlers.
The same state of things, in less degree,
is shown in Texas Years ago the plains of
the northern part of the State were looked
upon as valuable only for grazing purposes.
being too dry for profitable agriculture.
Now the whole region is becoming thickly
populated large towns are springing up, all
varieties of Southern field products are
grown, and cattlemen are being forced into
the extreme western and northwestern por-
tions of the State, where they may in time
be followed by the farmer, as climatic con-
ditions change. Though no statistics are
given, it is the common opinion that the
amount of rainfall has increased largely.
This is true, also, of Western Kansas.
1t has only been of recent years that gov
eminent observation stations have been es-
tablished in any part of the vast
region, comprising one-third of the
territory of the United States.
which was once looked upon as practically
desert and incapable of development. It is,
therefore, hard to obtain exact knowledge
of the progressive improvement in climatic
conditions, but their carefully kept notes

Mississippi may be as thickly populated as
